Talk about slow...... Martha has finally been approved for County assistance and we finally got to see her first oncologist but his field is OBGYN and he only volunteers Thurs afternoons. He ordered more tests and Martha was given her next appt of Aug 21. Still no treatment plan offered as these other tests are needed first as I knew from going on the internet the first day she was told she had IDC.

BTW, with any free assistance she will be offered, she is referred to all doctors and has no choice in their referrals what so ever. We spent 4 hours Thursday getting a MRI and there was only one person ahead of her.
